After Care

OUR AFTER CARE MOTTO: "NO LOTIONS, POTIONS, OR REPETITIVE MOTIONS."

Lotions: That's right. No lotions, no oils, no soothing serums.

Potions: This includes the Sugar Plum Serum. Wait at least 24 hours before application of our serum or anything similar like chemical exfoliants or any skincare treatments you may use. For best results, keep 48 hours between your sugaring appointment and spray tanning. Attempting a spray tan within the 48 hour window can result in orange dots in the deep newly hair free pores.

Repetitive Motions: Wait 24 hours after sugaring before friction and sweat causing activities like exercise. We know your exercise routine is important and as a skincare professional in your life, we recommend you exercise before your sugaring service and then shower before coming in. Then schedule your next friction-filled activity for 24 hours later.

Let your skin relax after your service. The purpose of sugaring is to give you smooth skin that's free of hair and soft to the touch. With our motto in mind, you can give your skin a chance to recover from the hair removal process, so you feel comfy everywhere.

Consider making it a spa day. Give yourself the next 24 hours off of your typical work out routine. Wear a baggy, breathable outfit, or spend some time relaxing at home au naturel. Maybe treat yourself to a hair appointment as well. Or make your toes look fancy with a professional or at home pedicure. This could also be a great time to get crafty!

For the busy professional, we recommend you wear loose fitting clothing and follow these simple guidelines below.

Keep your skin clean, cool, friction-free, product-free, bacterial and irritation-free for at least 24 hours after your service. If you must exercise within the first 24 hours, take a cool shower to close your pores beforehand. When you bathe, keep the water at cooler temperatures and run it cold at the end. If you experience inflammation, apply cold.

AFTER CARE FAQS

Whether by excess sweat or friction, red bumps may appear on the skin after hairs are removed.

Try an Oatmeal Paste. You can make this at home by combining oatmeal with warm water and applying it to the irritated area like a mask. It can be helpful to make the oatmeal more fine ground, whether with a blender or a mortal and pestle. Once the oatmeal paste is applied to the skin, let it cool and dry, then gentle rinse off and pat dry.

I got red bumps after I left my service, what do I do?

Try a Baking Soda Paste, mixing baking soda and warm water. Apply to the irritated area, let cool and dry, then rinse off and pat dry.
